Abstract

In this paper an adaptive channel estimator is proposed and investigated which improves the receiving performance for the DVB-T system. A conventional estimator for the system consists of a two-dimensional Wiener filter which is implemented as a cascade of one-dimensional filters, and the filter is operating with the filter coefficients set which is selected from the four different sets according to the channel environment. Our proposed estimator uses the filter coefficients which is interpolated by the two closest coefficients sets. The proposed scheme shows an improvement of 5 to 10dB in SNR compared to the conventional scheme.
